such_o a_o unreasonable_a thing_n it_o be_v a_o perfect_a contradiction_n to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o apostle_n who_o here_o teach_v we_o that_o the_o sovereign_n bear_v the_o sword_n as_o he_o be_v god_n minister_n and_o that_o he_o bear_v in_o not_o in_o vain_a but_o to_o be_v a_o revenger_n to_o execute_v wrath_n upon_o he_o that_o docth_v evil_a and_o if_o he_o bear_v the_o sword_n by_o god_n appointment_n and_o for_o so_o great_a a_o end_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v lawful_a and_o laudable_a to_o bear_v it_o under_o he_o just_a as_o because_o he_o be_v the_o supreme_a minister_n of_o justice_n some_o must_v needs_o serve_v under_o he_o in_o the_o administration_n and_o execution_n of_o justice_n and_o those_o who_o do_v so_o be_v to_o be_v honour_v in_o their_o several_a place_n

from_o god_n and_o necessary_a for_o the_o support_n of_o government_n and_o therefore_o i_o confess_v i_o can_v understand_v why_o it_o shall_v be_v more_o unlawful_a for_o a_o christian_n to_o
